Posted: 10/1/06 at 12:34pmBest movie I've seen so far this year, and Forest Whitaker gives the best film performance I've seen in recent memory. A must see.

He's getting a LOT of great press for this. It'll be interesting to see how the public responds - it's not subject matter that most Americans are going to feel connected to - unfortunately.
I can't wait to see it - I've respected his work for a long time.

He looked awesome in the trailer so this is on a must see list
Looks like not only will he get an Oscar nomination but he may be going into it at the favorite

The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.

Posted: 5/2/07 at 8:04pmI love this movie. I watched it with my boyfriend when it was in theatres and went two subsequent times (to other times when friends wanted to see it). I read the book after watching the movie(usually it's the other way around for me) and I loved both. Forest did a wonderful job as well as James McAvoy as Nicholas. I'm glad to find that there are some people out there who enjoyed it. Most of the time I read other people say that they didn't like it for this reason or that reason.

Posted: 5/4/07 at 1:31amI eventually will buy the movie. The book is just as good. Very different (surprise surprise), but very good.
